Green Impact Students’ Unions

Green Impact started working with students’ unions in 2006, and now we have over 100 students’ unions taking part every year.

For decades students’ unions have been at the forefront of social and environmental campaigning. But with the majority of students’ unions not being metered for the utilities they use, and with sabbatical teams changing annually, many of our members struggled to get to grips with their own environmental impacts.

Green Impact Excellence

Students’ unions that have achieved Gold standard for at least two consecutive years will be given the chance to get involved in a larger scale project, over and above the accreditation criteria, embedding themselves as a key player in greening their wider institutional or off-campus community.

Support

Throughout the year students’ unions are supported by a dedicated Green Impact project officer from NUS who advises on any queries, runs good practice webinars and is also present at many national events running various workshops. NUS also offers students’ unions in depth support through full day environmental audits or training through our E&E Support Package.

This year we will be running a series of introductory workshops throughout NUS’s student officer development programme.

There will also be a number of regional meet -ups throughout the year.

Details of these events will be posted around through EANDE mailing list soon. To sign up to the EANDE mailing list, just email us.
